Barbie: A Doll in a Pretty Dress

3min

In this episode, Tess takes us through the history and controversy of the iconic toy doll, Barbie. Claire and Tess express some of the ways in which this doll personally effected their childhood and womanhood, diving into the complicated and unfair societal norms of body image and beauty for young girls. While she was revolutionary, she was also harmful, and like most things in history, nothing is black or white. Except her famous bathing suit... This is Barbie.

This episode contains conversation around Eating Disorders.
